Stay always up to date

To the WinCC Unified community

Overview SIMATIC WinCC Unified is a completely new visualization system that enables you to successfully master the challenges of digitization in machine and plant engineering. The latest web and edge technologies combined with open interfaces enable you to implement your ideas flexibly and according to application-specific requirements.

The SIMATIC WinCC Unified System offers flexible solutions for industrial visualization consisting of hardware and software

Seamlessly integrated hardware and software

You can use the new SIMATIC HMI Unified Comfort Panels and the PC-based SIMATIC systems to get the most out of the performance offered by WinCC Unified. Thanks to HTML5 and SVG support, the visualization opens up many new opportunities you can use with the Totally Integrated Automation Portal (TIA Portal), easily and efficiently.

In addition, SIMATIC WinCC Unified is available as apps for runtime and engineering for the Industrial Edge infrastructure.

The latest technology and proven expertise

Based on native web technologies such as HTML5, SVG and JavaScript, you always get the best usability, regardless of the device you use. WinCC Unified enables authorized operators to access the system via any modern web browser – without the need to install separate plug-ins.

Simple, continuous scalability

From the control panel directly on the machine to the complex SCADA solution: SIMATIC WinCC Unified offers a wide range of options for industry-specific requirements and can be utilized for user-specific applications with its open interfaces. Thanks to new technologies and its openness, you can easily exchange data from WinCC Unified with other systems.

Runs anywhere, any time

The technologies used ensure maximum flexibility in the choice of the runtime environment. WinCC Unified is available in different runtime environments. In addition to established Panel- and PC- systems, WinCC Unified can also be used in the Industrial Edge environment. With WinCC Unified View-of-Things, web-based visualization is now also directly integrated into the SIMATIC S7-1500.

Unique features

SIMATIC WinCC Unified doesn’t require separate apps or plug-ins

Zero installation client

The user interface is consistently based on the HTML, SVG, and JavaScript technologies. A state-of-the-art web browser is all that’s needed to access the visualization –no need to install separate apps or plug-ins.

SIMATIC WinCC Unified provides consistent usability

Comprehensive set of controls

The design of the user interface controls has been fundamentally redesigned and offers consistent usability with significantly more functionality for all platforms.

Comprehensive scripting

The JavaScript scripting language gives WinCC Unified now one integrated scripting engine for all platforms. All functions of the language for data handling, object creation, and the use of classes as well as inheritance are available for scripting in WinCC Unified.

One file for a variety of possibilities

With SVG graphics you always get an optimal visual quality. WinCC Unified supports not only static but also dynamic SVG graphics, which can be easily animated and dynamized.

SIMATIC WinCC Unified supports engineering with TIA Portal

Automate the engineering

Engineering in TIA Portal means WinCC Unified comes with the comprehensive support of TIA Portal Openness. This API (Application Programming Interface) allows repeated steps in the engineering process to be automated and validation of configurations for accuracy.

SIMATIC WinCC Unified allows to combine several systems

Easily combine distributed systems

WinCC Unified Collaboration makes it much easier to combine individual WinCC Unified systems, such as the visualization of a machine as part of a line visualization.

SIMATIC WinCC Unified integrates different tools and applications

Open for extensions

Vollständige Integration von webbasierten Tools, Controls oder Anwendungen in die Visualisierung von WinCC Unified. Eine Benutzeroberfläche für den Bediener – kein Wechseln mehr zwischen unterschiedlichen Tools.

SIMATIC WinCC Unified supports the connection of OT and IT networks

Easily connect to IT-systems

In order to connect software systems from the automation or IT environment, WinCC Unified provides various options for data exchange with "Runtime Openess" and the "OpenPipe" interface.

Data archiving

With WinCC Unified, each of your applications gets the optimal solution for archiving, because the process data can be archived either file-based or in a database. Thanks to its easy handling, file-based archiving is particularly suitable for small and medium-sized applications.

Alarming

WinCC Unified’s integrated alarming system provides immediate notification of critical process states or general warnings, enabling quick reactionand reduced downtimes. All messages and alarms can be categorized into specific classes of alerts.

SIMATIC WinCC Unified facilitates parameter management

Parameter control

You can easily handle and manage machine or production parameters with "parameter sets". This enables you to define the parameter structures based on UDTs (User Data Types) from the PLC. The handling of the parameter sets between PLC and HMI can be easily automated with the help of job IDs.

User administration

With SIMATIC WinCC Unified, you can set up local user administration and access control (UMAC) during the engineering – using predefined function rights and defining user and password policies. This protects your visualization from unauthorized access.

Heating control for sustainably produced heat

Heizomat is producing heatings with automatically fed wood and wood chippers for many years. Almost the entire control technology is provided by Siemens, as well as the touch panels for operation of heating systems and machines.

The new SIMATIC HMI Unified Comfort Panels provide new possibilities, which improve the devices usability significantly. It’s also important for Heizomat to have operating panels that can keep up with a heating’s lifetime of 30 years. Moreover, Heizomat appreciates the possibility to run their own apps on the operating panels, even though it isn’t required yet. However, this option increases security of investment because features can be downloaded as easy as with every smartphone.

More about this application

SIMATIC WinCC Unified is the new visualization system in TIA Portal and scalable from panel to distributed systems on SCADA level. In addition to the new WinCC Unified Runtime based on web technology (HTML5, SVG and JavaScript), the WinCC Unified System includes a new generation of high-end operator panels with multitouch and Siemens Industrial Edge support.

More and more data as well as new scenarios for the interaction between humans and machines are examples for the comprehensive changes in the field of industrial visualization. With the SIMATIC WinCC Unified System – the new visualization system within TIA Portal – you are ready for the future of visualization.

Unlimited possibilities for the users

SIMATIC WinCC HMI Unified Comfort Panels with their capacitive multitouch displays (in sizes 7 to 22 inches) offer you all the freedom and possibilities you need to implement your innovative operating concepts. The panels are particularly powerful, allow the installation of apps by their integrated edge functionality and simplify the scaling of operator screens with vector-based visualization.

WinCC Unified combines the worlds of IT and OT

Thanks to its powerful and open interfaces, WinCC Unified is able to integrate other software tools (for example from the IT environment) and to integrate them into one operating concept. This makes WinCC Unified an integration platform for linking data from production with data from the IT world.

Consistent engineering from panel to SCADA system

WinCC Unified allows to freely design user interfaces with a huge variety of graphical features and reusability of all elements. This saves time and money because every design can be used on a panel as well as on a PC system. Thanks to the use of vector-based graphics (SVG), images can be scaled as desired while staying crystal clear. HTML5 support makes it possible to monitor and control machines and plants via mobile devices.
